Operation
The riveter must be properly
lubricated before operation. See “Lubrication”
section.
The safety cap must be
installed before operating riveter.
1. Select nosepiece that best fits rivet being
used.
2. Use wrench to unscrew nosepiece counter-
clockwise. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
3. Push new nosepiece into jaws against the
spring tension, and rotate until threads
engage. Tighten nosepiece with wrench.
4. Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
5. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT: Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.
6. Insert rivet mandrel all the way into
nosepiece.
7. Place rivet into hole so that rivet head makes
contact with work surface.
8. Press trigger to drive rivet.
9. Release trigger to eject spent mandrel.
Note: When tool is facing downward, spent
mandrels will exit through nosepiece. When
tool is angled upward, spent mandrels will be
caught by safety cap. Turn safety cap slot
upward to prevent spilling of mandrels.
